Pork Tenderloin in Brandy and Orange
Recipe by Graham
Pork Tenderloin in Brandy and Orange is a little "secret gem" of mine. It's prepared and cooked in minutes (allowing for the marinade to take effect beforehand) yet looks and tastes like you've spent hours slaving over a hot stove!

How to Cook Pork Tenderloin in Brandy and Orange
- Grate the rind from the oranges, and squeeze the juice. Place the zest and the juice in a mixing bowl, add the brandy and tomato ketchup and mix well. Cut the tenderloins into slices about 1" (2.5cm) thick then use the marinade to fully coat the meat. Refrigerate for at least one hour before cooking. (Best way to marinade meat is to coat them in the marinade sauce, place them in a polythene bag and put any remaining sauce into the bag. Seal the bag and agitate to mix well, then refrigerate for at least one hour before using.)
- Remove the meat from the marinade then pour the marinade into a saucepan and bring to the boil. Use this as a sauce (gravy) for your meal. Pan fry the tenderloin pieces for 10-12 minutes in a frying pan (skillet) with a very small amount of duck (or goose) fat to stop them sticking, turning once or twice during cooking. Serve with Creamed Potatoes and Leek and Bacon Platter.
GRAHAM'S HOT TIP:
If you want to add another dimension to your marinade (and thus your gravy) peel and crush (mince) a clove of garlic and add to the mixture.

 January 23 2015Kinda reminds me of a mix between orange chicken and the pork and peaches my mom made when I was a kid. This meal made some very happy campers in my house! vivian (1 review) |
 August 14 2014I prepared this for my Father's birthday dinner and it was a big hit! The pork was so tender and the sauce delicious! I actually doubled the sauce recipe quantities. I'm glad I did because everyone loved the sauce! I'm always looking for new pork recipes - love this flavor combo! katherinedallas (1 review) |
